Google Adds Memory Management Controls to Gemini

Google has introduced a new capability for its Gemini artificial intelligence platform called Memory summary, designed to give individuals greater oversight over the personal information the system retains. While the AI relies on past conversations and direct user input to tailor responses, these details can potentially be used for training purposes or human review. The feature is rolling out across the web, mobile applications for iOS and Android, and desktop apps for Windows and Mac.

To access the tool, users navigate to the settings menu via the sidebar, select Personal Intelligence, and open the Memory summary section. The interface organizes collected data into categories such as Business & Career, Essentials, Reading & Interests, and Culinary Preferences. Users can also view recent updates through a history log.

If the AI stores incorrect or overly sensitive information, individuals can modify the data directly on the web or desktop apps by using an edit option. Alternatively, users of the mobile apps can update or erase specific memories simply by prompting the chatbot directly through text or voice commands.

What to watch next: Check your Gemini settings to see what data the AI has retained and clean up any inaccuracies.
